No...Payoneer is good too

frog12:
outsourcing website.

and what work do you do they exactly? website design? they get millions of coders in india doing gigs work.

Far from those

frog12:
once in a while, we get these types of people. dey go change their nicknames and post these types of nonsense.

unless you are a FOREX TRADER, which other work you dey do remote from a village and you dey earn USD and you no like you contract work at a bank! why would anyone even believe you?

Freelancing on Fiverr Upwork

It's not a must you believe. Is it?

frog12:
you market biz on websites

that must be tough

No it's interesting if you could understand the knits

Yankee101:
1. How old are u? Does your bank convert, and at what age?
2. Transfer to a cheaper state? Will your business model work outside lagos?
3. Tried using your work experience to apply for full staff in other banks?
4. Tried applying for other jobs in Lagos?


If you work in a bank, your biggest advantage is mixing with successful business folks. Adk questions. Find how you can do same business even on a smaller scale

My business model is one that can be done from anywhere, even in a remote village and so far there's Internet

You have something doing and you are complaining. Do you know the respect that society gives you for having a verifiable job you do? And there is no way you can be a banker and have anytime for online business unless you are into bet9ja, Bitcoin etc which are not even reliable sources of income.

I know someone who was earning 30k a month in a microfinance bank and he got married with that salary and you are here talking nonsense as if you were forced to take the job.

Lazy and greedy youths of these days.

Lol seek for knowledge

timiehyinshittu:
Even core staff are going into business..u beta wake up if u have something grounded..wait till ur business can give u min of 60k per month then quit.If u spend half the time and energy u use in the bank to develop ur biz,in a year,u mite build to 150monthly..something u will Neva do in a bank. considering ur age

My online biz give above 60k monthly and work at my own pace in between jobs . ..I earn in USD

epropertymaster:
You dont need any advised, since you can identified that you are not please with the job.
pull out and start your own businesss and give your self target for 5yrs.
Its a slavery job.

Thanks bro

Malamkano:
Leave immediately. Was once a contract staff with Oceanic then to Ecobank, speaking from experience. Imagine meeting 20people daily say from 8am- 4pm and selling your online business to them and compare it against working as a teller in the bank and counting people's money from 8am - 4pm on a regular. Brother, I tell u the truth, u would have made 300 calls by day 15 and prospectively converted some to sales that can pay u more than that 60k. I left d bank in 2015 and have not worked for any man save God, myself and my clients. I did a turnover of 21million in 2019 with 300% profit margin compare to the previous year. God punish corona virus in 2020 if not.

I'm bookmarking this to my notepad...thanks bro for the headup

TripleOh7:
What is the online biz? I hope it's not Yahoo.

If your online biz is legitimate and can sustain you, why are you wasting your days building someone else's business?

Resign yesterday and put the work hours in your own business and grow it to the point where you become an employer of labour.

Yes it's digital marketing ...it has been helping alot

bizhop01:
Online job with someone that is already working for over 12 hours daily?
Ogar bank work no be government work please ask bankers they will tell you more.

That’s my worry, imaging getting orders without time to execute them

Beedude:
Hmmmm

It's a good thing u are'nt satisfied being a contract staff.
Even better u have an online biz as backup.

I don't know if u are the career type of person
OR
A business oriented person.

If u are business oriented person ask urself questions like :
1. Where do u see ur online business in 2-5yrs time
2. Are u ready to stick by the business no matter the challenge u face during the teething period?

If u aren't strong emotionally, going fully into ur business might bring regrets. And once u regret starting a business, it means u are left with zero zeal.

I personally chose business and investment over paid employment cos of my old age.
I will rather keep making money myself than waiting for stipends(pension).

But before u resign from ur job, kindly make sure ur online business is grounded and yielding exellent returns.

Business runs in my blood

babaeto001:
Contract Staff in a bank is corporate slavery, i don’t know why our Legislators aren’t doing anything about contract job across various industries. If you are lucky to be in a bank that has transparent conversion process for contract staff and you fall within the required age limit according to their policy, then you may be among the lucky ones to be converted to core banking staff.

My age is beyond the range. Corporate slavery I must say

Is there any future for me as a contract employee in a Nigerian bank. Pay is 60k after tax. In Lagos the cost of living is very harsh.

My dilemma is I'm not fulfilled being a contract staff. Feel like I'm wasting my youthful days. Though, I have online biz to survive on if at all I resign. I'm also building more model.

But then, I'm looking at the career prospect in the future.

I need elderly advise pls

I need front page please biko ejo

God bless you op..nice one!

OYENIYIJK:
What's up guys

Connect don dey go oooo

Bro, according to venzal; this is a game of number. The higher you apply the better your chances.

In the early days we are going to invest on connect..

My first 3 earnings will be reinvested on connect. I've submitted my first order though, awaiting for client's review.

Ps: Don’t waste your connect. Treat every connect like the last one when writing a proposal. Meaning you're giving it all.

adsmaster:
Wow congrats!

I think I need a change of strategy; it will now be "ready! Shoot! Aim!" [/b]no need to wait until after the 66days of hand copying Ben's emails.

Venzal has always said you learn on the job, just like driving a car-you get pretty good while practising.[b]

So guess it's time to revise with upwork, then re-write 4 emails copies from the 50 piece venal sent us..

$120 is huge brov.

Happy for you, now make sure you over deliver- exceed his expectations.

More greens!

Exactly

ChaseVibes:
Hey Guyssssssss!

Guess what?

I landed my first job of $120 on Upwork.

After 9 days following Venzal's thread back to back and writing out Ben Settle's emails and then finally writing my own personal samples.

I created my Upwork account yesterday because I decided to chill first.

Made my Profile Overview so damnnnnn irresistible.

Saw a job offer and tested out my proposal writing skills on the job offer and attached one of my samples.

Woke up this morning to the client's message.

I quickly cranked out two emails as samples for him to reel him in.

Now I've got the job!

I'd work to give the client the best result.

P.S: Venzal has given us everything we would ever need to start and I can see some people here are still contemplating and asking questions.

Write out samples by hand and it would come easily when typing next time.

Good bless you abundantly Venzal!!!

Time to get to work!

Congrats Champ...Truly Venzal has opened the door for us! Now depends on us to work hard and achieve the unlimited feat this year!!!!!!

Eberechi24:
I got my account approved today.

Wow! Seriously guy, I am so happy because I have tried this a year ago but wasn't successful. I was almost frustrated. I had to negotiate with middlemen who open account for a token. I got for two thousand but couldn't proceed because of lack of finance.

I stumble upon this thread and got the info for free!!!

So today, I decided to "play" with upwork.

Guess what? I was approved in less than a second.

"Dancing"

To venzalvenzal, Thanks for the info, God bless you. it means a lot to me. I am happy


The issue now is that I want fly the account to private mode, I don't have means of identification should I land a task on Upwork. Every of my identification is at school

How do I go about it?

Welcome to the family. Congrat!

@Venzal/Mhizausta

Please anytime you want to vie for a political office in this country, let me know...You have my state's 5million votes for yourself already

The 14 high-converting email formulas are ...Truly copywriting is king.

Let see how soon we can get used to it asap.

Following...thanks for the efforts

Virgo01:
Big congratulations man. That's the way to go.

I'm going to tidy up my account and start sending proposals too.

Is the job in the copywriting niche? Or just writing generally?

Copywriting

SuleimanKano:
Big Congratulations brother.

Thanks

Got my first ever job on Upwork, $40

This is surely a starting point. I'm happy

Thanks Venzal, cutezt, Meklex

Chuksmonika:
what other word do you suggest in replacement of 'i' ?

Any other word that qualify the clients mumu botton and make them feel valued...Don't use 'I' or "Me"


I talk my own oo

shotanny:
Good afternoon bro, I was the one that pmed you...
Please I am having issues with getting orders, I have opened a fiverr account for some weeks now but no orders yet...I also send offers on buyer's request...but still no orders...pls can you give me tips on what to do.

Stop!

When you read this to the end, you'll have make it happen and you start getting orders like CRAZY.

What's it?

Avoid the temptation of using "I" when bidding for jobs...

No one gives a hut about you out there.

Valwezzy:
Nice one.

Care to share your niche?

Graphic design or so. I know her on the Fiverr thread

Meklex:
I started when I was serving. I go to my PPA every day.

I now run a brick and mortar business which I run every day.

My point is, if it's important to you to you, you will automatically create time for it —at least that's what I do.

Afterthought: in Venzal's last video, he told a client he can't do more than 7 emails in a week. Find out what works for you; increase your turnaround time, create a framework for the email you are writing so it will be easier. Lastly, you can outsource. Whenever I get more than 6 to 10 emails in queue, I outsource.

An eye opener I must say. Thanks for your contribution.

SuleimanKano:
It simple

Well, the ball is in everyone's court....

Weigh the advantages and disadvantages...

You have your answers.

But for me, "I Follow the money"

I hope this helps.

Cheers.....

Bro you'll do well in copywriting from your writing style.You dey try

Meklex:
While I wait for venzal to reply, here's what I do before/after a client places an order —I ask for 3 things:

1. Website/competitors website

2. Target audience

3. Email objectives.

These 3 things are all I need to write an email. Also, you need to ask for any additional information from your client such as his ideas, major pain points etc.

My research process is the only tedious part. I will visit clients' website, then visit the competitors website and other related websites.

Then I always use this keyword on Google; "why you need to use 'client's product' ". With this keyword you will get lots of information on Google about the clients' product/service.

Then, I normally write my emails following this blueprint; Problem, Solution, CTA.

I always employ TACT while writing especially the first paragraph. In fact, the first paragraph is the most important part of any email I am writing because it sets the course for the rest of the email; and if you get it wrong, chances are you will get the rest of the copy wrong.

MODIFIED

Let's go back to TACT. If you understand this, you have understood almost enough to write email copies your clients will love.

Here's the truth; everything that can be said has already been said. There's nothing new under the sun, so there's literally nothing new you can say in an email.

However, you have an ALMOST unlimited power on HOW to say it —and that's where tact comes in. Always wear your target audience's shoe; find the most common problem they face and dramatize it. It always gets their attention.

To give a face to what I just said, here's an email I wrote for a client who wants to sell email lists of recording artistes, studios, etc to music producers.

There are infinite ways to say this same thing - find the most engaging way to say it

Nice one

I have a question; for some of us that have a full-time job somewhere, how are we going to cope when the order starts coming.

Any suggestion?

WordsWriter:
I see so many people on this thread becoming millionaires before December.

Thank you Venzal and other gurus contributing. God bless and reward you!

Yes, it will I believe. We still have 6 months ahead to call it a wrap for this year.

My advice, there are other platforms you can pitch to get your clients outside Upwork

i.e Craigslists, LinkedIn, eBay classified for business etc

Pitch these business owners and sell your benefits to them to hire you.

The key is being creative... Many business owners need YOU!
